Does this happen to anyone else?

I'm using, or rather trying to use, Adobe Premiere 6.0.

When I'm in A/B Editing mode if I try to import a movie or if I try to drag and drop a movie into the timeline I've opened I get this nice Error Message and Premiere Closes while if I'm in Single Track Editing mode I can import, open, and drag and drop movie, but however when I try to preview the movie It causes the same error message and Premiere Closes once again. Anyone else know what's causing this or how to fix it?

My system info is as follows
Windows XP
Pentium 4m - 1.6 GHz
256 Meg DDRAM
30 GB HD w/~20GB Free Space

What is the format of the video? is it DivX? how about the audio track? (need more "input")

I just realized about three seconds ago that it's DivX, well now I know why, but now how do I fix this and another question?

Can Premiere read .wmv files i know it can do wmf but i cant get it to even see the wmv files

Not to my knowledge and DAMN, I wouldn't want to edit using a WMV file...

Use virtualdub to convert the divx video to something else like huffYUV.

if(huffyuv == big file)(
cout << ":(";
}
else{
cout << ":)";
}

Hold ALT + Press F5
Output:

HuffYUV is around half the size of a uncompressed AVI file, which is still huge...

huffYUV == about 1GB/minute
